Dance!

Last week was "parent watch day" at Mary's dance class.  It was so cute to see how much she has improved over last year.  We also got a sneak peek at their darling recital costumes!!

Tanganika!

Zachary's preschool class took a field trip to Tanganika Wildlife Park....what an amazing morning! The park was beautiful!  It was the first time Zachary and I had been there - and we certainly had fun!  In fact, we can't wait to go back with Mary and Allyson!!

Zachary's preschool class!

The White Tiger!  Zachary had lots of fun "roaring" back and forth with it!

There were sure lots of monkeys at Tanganika!

Lots and lots of goats!

Yep, that's a kangaroo!

The bunnies were awesome!  There were so many to chase!

The guinnea pigs were a favorite for Zachary.....yuck!

Time to feed the giraffes!

Thanks for lifting me up, Ms. Lori!  Ceasar is very tall! 

The playground at Tanganika is top notch!

A quick stop to see the penguins before we head home!

Happy Easter!

We had a truly blessed Easter filled with much time with family!  The kids loved learning the true meaning of Easter and anticipating the arrival of the Easter Bunny!

Preparations started with Allyson getting her first pedicure!

Zachary wore the bunny ears he made at preschool for three days straight before Easter!

Easter clothes all ironed and ready for Mass!

Easter morning....the Bunny came!

 

He even took a piece of our bunny cake!

Kids are awake and can't wait to see what he brought!

Allyson wasn't so happy to be woken up...

But she did like her basket!

Playing with new play dough was the first activity!

Then a short break to watch a show before getting ready for Mass!

Pretty girl all dressed up!

With all the excitement of the morning, it was tough to get a good picture!

 

After Mass at St. Catherine's

Following Mass, there was a huge Easter Egg Hunt on the front lawn - over 5000 eggs!

 

After the hunt, it was inside to redeem prizes and candy!

And of course, a stop on the playground!

Then it was off to Pilsen for another Easter Egg Hunt with the Bina group!
